Check out this functional life-size Lego car
One of the best-equipped Lego cars ever...
Imagine being so passionate about cars and Lego that you build a car entirely out of Lego.
A Swedish enthusiast has built an extraordinary life-sized replica of a Volvo V70 wagon. The project is said to have taken him more than four years to complete, but it was all worth it, considering the detailing and functionality he put into the project.
He had no instructions on how to build the car, so the builder improvised the entire project using a real V70 as a reference.
Watch the video below from Instagram.
The proportions of the replica are said to be quite accurate.
"The steering wheel is spot on (it even has a little Volvo logo in the middle!), the rear lights are functional, and the door mirrors are both power-adjustable and power-folding. The so-called Waterfall centre console, a gorgeous styling element that Volvo put in many of its cars in the 2010s, is accurately replicated as well," reports The Drive.
Watch the video below from the builder's Instagram page, showing how he created the door's functionality.
While not every part of the car was made entirely of Lego, a steel frame was constructed to give the car its structural appeal.
The video posted by SuperCarBlondie shows the car driving. But while we can see someone in the driver's seat, the car doesn't have an engine.
The Volvo V70 replica has a remote-controlled electric motor, allowing it to move slowly using its power.
We especially liked the movable side mirrors that the builder calls "useless". Check out the video below from Instagram.
